Host: “A.Okay. and I we’re speaking about Biznasty dropping what would could or is probably not a nugget in regards to the Leafs saying that the Leafs and Mitch Marner’s camp are speaking about a little bit factor referred to as a contract extension. A.Okay. is horrified by this prospect.”
A.Okay.: “I don’t consider it. I don’t consider it could possibly’t be true.”
Host: “You’ve, you’ve raised it beforehand mentioned, ‘Hey, why wouldn’t they be speaking extension? Perhaps they’d be extra apt to increase him then to commerce him.’ The place are we at with this?”
NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs, Minnesota Wild, and the Winnipeg Jets
Dreger: “Properly, I feel the precise mechanics of an extension discuss are a bit untimely. I do and, and, you understand, that’s primarily based on speaking to high-level sources two days in the past, day and a half in the past the truth is. Look, do I consider that they’re going to have interaction in contract discussions with Marner submit July 1? In fact I do. Yeah.
I imply, you understand, the situations that would play out right here, you understand, in a single, two or three, you guys can chart them as you see match. However a contract extension is without doubt one of the three situations. A commerce presumably is without doubt one of the situations. Mitch Marner beginning the season, enjoying out the ultimate 12 months of his contract is one other state of affairs.
However I can let you know with certainty that Brad Treliving and the Toronto Maple Leafs haven’t fixated on a type of three simply but. It’s too quickly for that.
However earlier than you possibly can have interaction and actually make the choice that may hold commerce is the most suitable choice, and we all know it’s going to be delicate due to the no-move clause, however that doesn’t stop Treliving from having legit conversations with different normal managers who could or could not have curiosity with you understand, within the thought of buying and selling from Marner.
Earlier than you try this, don’t you must discover out what the numbers appear to be? , what’s Mitch Marner in search of by way of long-term contract extension with the Toronto Maple Leafs? And I don’t, I don’t consider they’re there but. I actually don’t.
NHL Rumors: Mitch Marner, Nashville Predators, San Jose Sharks, and Trevor Zegras
However it’s, it’s one thing that has been mentioned internally. However I don’t suppose they’ve gotten to a degree past possibly preliminary dialog with Darren Ferris, the place they’re truly within the, within the bolts of negotiating an extension.”
